I messed around and got rid of a beautiful rifle. Now Remington still making this lazy twist so it must have been my gun. My question is what bullet weight do you guys shoot with this twist?

I shoot 165 grain Accubonds in mine for pretty much everything but when I was working up loads I came up with a good one for 180s and messed with 190s a little with no indication it wasn't twisted fast enough. My rifle has a 1-12" twist.
